Lyrics
(Verse 1]
Sittin' here tonight with my head in my hands,
Wonderin' why we don't understand,
Pain's in our veins, it flows through our heart,
I don't understand why we tear each other apart.
[Chorus]
We never know who is suffering,
We never know how hard they try,
To add to their burden with our words,
Makes me feel like I want to cry.
Verse 2
Life's a struggle, we all wear our scars,
Why throw more fuel on the fire than ours?
We carry our burdens, and the weight's so cruel
If we can't balance it with joy, we'd be a fool
[Chorus]
We never know who is suffering,
We never know how hard they try,
To add to their burden with our words,
Makes me feel like I want to cry.
[Outro]
We all face our demons and shadows that stare,
Each soul has a burden that they must bear.
I hope I will be able to give everyone a smile,
Sow seeds of compassion to carry them awhile.
